2.Nancy is full of beans. I don't know where she gets her energy from
3.Sam's story is a long one. In a nutshell, his mother refuses to let him go abroad.

You often have that expression as notice or computer science book title to show the content is concise:

Unix in a nutshell for exemple is a well know book.

4.Looking for the lost dog in the forest was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

5.If the teacher gives us more chapters to read I will go nuls.
